Read moreMany cell types in higher organisms are capable of implementing directed motion in response to the presence of certain chemical attractants in their vicinity. A team at the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) Muenchen has developed a novel technique to expose an ensemble of living cells to rapidly varying concentrations of chemoattractants.

Read moreThe making of three-dimensional nanostructured materials - ones that have distinctive shapes and structures at scales of a few billionths of a meter - has become a fertile area of research, producing materials that are useful for electronics, photonics, phononics and biomedical devices. But the methods of making such materials have been limited in the 3-D complexity they can produce. Now, an MIT team has found a way to produce more complicated structures by using a blend of current "top-down" and "bottom-up" approaches.

Read moreResearchers from the Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum (RUB) Department of Biophysics of Prof. Dr. Klaus Gerwert have succeeded in providing evidence that a protein is capable of creating a water molecule chain for a few milliseconds for the directed proton transfer. The combination of vibrational spectroscopy and biomolecular simulations enabled the elucidation of the proton pump mechanism of a cell-membrane protein in atomic detail. The researchers demonstrated that protein-bound water molecules play a decisive role in the function.

Read moreJapanese scientists report on a unique 'ubiquitous element strategy' for synthesizing industrially important electronic, thermionic, and structural materials using naturally abundant elements. This strategy aims to overcome the 'rare-element crisis' that was triggered by increasing demand for such elements as lithium, used in batteries, and dysprosium for Ne-Fe-B permanent magnets.
